    “It is well within the order of things
    That man should listen when his mate sings;
    But the true male never yet walked
    Who liked to listen when his mate talked.”
    —Anna Wickham (1884–1947)

    “Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
